OUR MISSION
Our mission is the Propagation of Orthodox Islam, based on Authentic Sources, beginning with the call to Tawhid (the worship of Allah Alone) and the purification of beliefs from False Ideologies, Superstitions, Innovations and Interpretations alien to the First Generation of the Muslim Community.
OUR KHATIBS
Abu Abdullah is the Director of the Center for the Propagation of Orthodox Islam and Principal of Dar Al-Hadith An-Nadhiriyyah. He has been a Regular Khatib in Western Maryland, West Virginia and Eastern Ohio where he teaches regular classes, gives Friday Sermons and provides tutoring and counseling. Abu Abdullah edits books for Islamic publishers before they go to the printer.
OUR BELIEFS
Our Beliefs are in accordance with the "Creed of the People of the Sunnah and the Muslim Community". Although their branches are some "sixty to seventy odd number" - their foundations are six:
1. Belief in the Oneness of Allah
2. His Angles
3. His Messengers
4. His Messages
5. The Last Day
6. The Divine Decree and Predestination
OUR WAY
We strongly believe in the necessity of following the Qur'an and the Prophetic Sunnah based on the Understanding of the Companions and staying far away from what contradicts it in Belief, Action and Speech.
OUR ORGANIZATION
YOUTH & CHILDREN
Islam stresses the importance of raising educated children which is why we encourage parents to bring those seven and older in accordance with the statement of our beloved Prophet (peace be upon him): "Teach them (to pray) at seven..."
(Abu Dawud and Ahmad, Sahih with Al-Albani)
ISLAMIC MARRIAGES
Islamic Marriage Ceremonies and Marriage Counseling are available upon request.
COMMUNITY SERVICES
We all struggle from time to time and when we do, someone will be there to help. Our organization visits prisons, offers a computer lab, an extensive library, Community Service Hours and Volunteer Services to local Non-Profit Organizations. We offer tutoring and additional individual services as well as financial assistance in accordance with our Religious Guidelines which can be requested on a need-to-need basis.
Losing loved ones is difficult but inevitable. Islamic Burial is available through the WAQF (a joint committee of Islamic Centers in Western Maryland). For more information contact the Islamic Society of Akron and Kent at isak.us.
